Among the features of M2M:
There are two modes of operation:
1. As an external hard drive via USB connection. Then all the other possible functions of (DLNA / SMB / WLAN / LAN).
2. As a memory on the local network: In this case, all the devices of the home network connect to the M2M. In this mode, the M2M acts as a bridge, that connects to the Internet, the M2M for all connected WLAN devices either via WiFi or via LAN ready (another router or modem required).
For operating mode 1 is no longer supplement. Mode 2 has a few special features / characteristics:
Disk access is granted via DLNA network mode either via SMB shares (Windows) or. About DLNA M2M works as a UPnP AV media server, so it is pictures, movies, documents and music to stream ready. It can thus be previously reproduced on the plate copied media on the existing network UPNP AV Media Renderer (eg on a Windows PC). All protocols (SMB / DLNA) are available at all ports, thus also in the related home router connection. This therefore also allows access from the original local network, so that the proposed variant by the manufacturer (Bridge) must not be used. The M2M is useful only be used if it is connected via a LAN cable to the home router. Use Wi-Fi / WLAN worked in our tests do not reliably (disconnections, no connection after reboot). For the functions available M2M would receive three stars. Due to the deficiencies described in the introduction, however, only one star.
